| 1. | Three "quick and dirty" quiz formats for you to check your students'
understanding Each of these three are single-question quizzes. For more elaborate formats, see the next section. |
| 1.1 | Simple frames-based quiz page, see pp. 2 and 3 of this handout |
| 1.2 | Standard JavaScript pull-down menu, see page 4 of this handout |
| 1.3 | Scrollable JavaScript pull-down menu with more than one option visible at a time, see page 5 of this handout. |
| 2. | Make a JavaScript quiz with software-generated pages |
| 2.1 | The Hot Potatoes suite allows you to easily generate cloze exercises, multiple-choice, crossword puzzles and more. Features include a running percentage count, "hint" buttons which supply partial or full answers, "check" buttons which check students' answers, and (for multiple choice), the ability to give feedback on wrong answers.

| 2.2 | Some examples using this software's code (but note that the format of these pages have been changed from what you'd normally get from the software): |
| 2.2.1 | Crossword: http://kyushu.com/jalt/crossword.html |
| 2.2.2 | Cloze (fill in blanks): http://www2.gol.com/users/billp/efl/cave.html |
| 2.2.3 | Multiple-choice: http://www2.gol.com/users/billp/efl/cave2/index.html |
| 3. | Nifty code to add for functionality (see page 6 of this handout) |
| 3.1 | Add a subject line to your e-mail links |
| 3.2 | Check that the JavaScript is working before students start a page which depends on JavaScript |
| 3.3 | Students see a message instead of a URL when touching a link |
